Drumshanbo has Shannonside region's highest presidential turnout

It's been a slow day at the polls overall across Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon.

Turnout has exceeded 30 per cent in some areas in the Shannonside region in the presidential election.

Drumshanbo, south Roscommon and Cortober in Carrick-on-Shannon all have steady numbers.

Turnout was slow in many parts of the country this morning and depending on the area is running similar or behind 2018's turnout.
